mothering is hard work
The survival of the human race depends on the caring work of mothers.
But we get no recognition or support. Only blame when things go wrong.
And we’re even expected to do more work to feed the family, often on
the lowest pay.
every mother is a working mother

MEN: Join the contingent of fathers & other male carers who support
mothers.
